The seafood processing industry plays a vital role in job creation and economic growth, particularly in regions like the Mekong River Delta of Vietnam. However, this industry also generates a significant amount of organic pollutants, predominantly discharged into riverside and seashore areas.
Ocean acidification (OA) poses a threat to coral reefs by increasing the fragility of susceptible corals to physical damage. As such, the impacts of dive tourism are likely to be exacerbated under acidified conditions. While evidence exists on the impacts of OA, research is scant on scuba divers’ knowledge of OA.
